Nelle oscure profondità
by Steve Vernon Carmelo Massimo TidonaEra il primo viaggio per mare di Billy McTavish. Aveva firmato per prestare servizio sulla THISTLE, una corvetta della Marina Reale Canadese. Tra attacchi di U-Boat e bombardamenti della Luftwaffe, Billy pensava di aver visto tutti gli orrori che l’Atlantico potesse offrire a un giovane marinaio canadese. Ma Big Jimmy Noonan la pensava diversamente... COSA DICONO DELLA SCRITTURA DI STEVE VERNON! "Se Harlan Ellison, Richard Matheson e Robert Bloch avessero una serata di sesso a tre in una vasca d’acqua calda, e poi un gruppo di scienziati entrasse e filtrasse l’acqua e mescolasse il DNA rimasto in una provetta, l’esperimento genetico risultante molto probabilmente crescerebbe per diventare Steve Vernon." – Bookgasm "Steve Vernon è una sorta di anomalia nel mondo della letteratura horror. È una delle nuove voci più fresche del genere, anche se la sua carriera copre vent’anni. Scrivendo con una baldanza e una fiducia rare, Steve Vernon sa guidare il lettore attraverso un’intera gamma di emozioni, da paura e repulsione fino a pietà e risate." – Cemetery Dance "Armato di un bizzarro senso dello humour, un mucchio di originalità, un talento per il rischio e una forte abilità di caratterizzazione – Steve ha di sicuro un talento." - Dark Discoveries “Steve Vernon è uno scrittore difficile da classificare. E questo è un bene.” – Dark Scribe Magazine "A questo genere serve sangue fresco, e Steve Vernon è una bella trasfusione." – Edward Lee, autore di FLESH GOTHIC e CITY INFERNAL “Steve Vernon è uno dei migliori nuovi talenti dell’horror e della dark fiction" – Owl Goingback, autore di CROTA "Steve Vernon è nato per scrivere. È un vero scrittore e siamo fortunati ad averlo." – Richard Chizmar
Neo-Victorian Madness: Rediagnosing Nineteenth-Century Mental Illness in Literature and Other Media
by Sarah E. Maier Brenda AyresNeo-Victorian Madness: Rediagnosing Nineteenth-Century Mental Illness in Literature and Other Media investigates contemporary fiction, cinema and television shows set in the Victorian period that depict mad murderers, lunatic doctors, social dis/ease and madhouses as if many Victorians were “mad.” Such portraits demand a “rediagnosing” of mental illness that was often reduced to only female hysteria or a general malaise in nineteenth-century renditions. This collection of essays explores questions of neo-Victorian representations of moral insanity, mental illness, disturbed psyches or non-normative imaginings as well as considers the important issues of legal righteousness, social responsibility or methods of restraint and corrupt incarcerations. The chapters investigate the self-conscious re-visions, legacies and lessons of nineteenth-century discourses of madness and/or those persons presumed mad rediagnosed by present-day (neo-Victorian) representations informed by post-nineteenth-century psychological insights.
Neo-Victorian Young Adult Narratives
by Sarah E. MaierNeo-Victorian Young Adult Narratives examines the neo-Victorian themes and motifs currently appearing in young adult fiction—specifically addressing the themes of authorship, sexuality, and criminality in the context of the Victorian age in British and American cultures. This book explicates the complicated relationship between the Victorian past and the turn to Victorian modes of thought on literature, history, and morality. Additionally, Sarah E. Maier aims to determine if the appeal of neo-Victorian young adult fiction rests in or resists nostalgia, parody, and revision. Given the overwhelming prevalence of the Victorian in the young adult genres of biofiction, juvenile writings, gothic, sensation, mystery, and crime fiction, there is much to investigate in terms of the friction between the past and the present.

Nethergeist (Nethergeist Ser. #1)
by Nick StevensonFor thousands of years, the Emperor Goat, a necromancer so powerful he has declared himself God, has had an iron grip on the universe, causing most worlds to fall into disrepair. In a paranoid city of renegades, the last bastion of humanity holds out against his might. Ayilia, its Regent-Elect, is friendless, single, the &‘wrong&’ sex, the &‘wrong&’ heritage, and apparently cursed. While attempting to rout a coup, she is selected by outside forces to search for the impending birth site of Al Kimiya, a mage who is said to be the only match for the Emperor. To save herself and her people, she must ally with heretic magi, necromantic freedom fighters, the human-hating, reptilian Krayal, and her sworn foe, the cowardly, lifeless warlord Vespasian.

Featuring intense battles, snappy dialogue, and a world on the edge of ruin, Nethergeist is a fantasy in the vein of Malazan Book of the Fallen and The First Law.
